The unplanned moments of insight into people's thinking patterns and assumptions as they pour out in real time. I wish I could turn off the TV, but I am interested in the spin of it now.
It hasn't shed a lot of light on the question for me. And, I was having a hard time figuring out what it all means before this happened. Sadness, anger, worry about what happens next. I’m just holding on to the so-called "simple things" in life, the family, my friends, you know? It just sucks that for all my worrying I can’t change a damn thing!

And, guess who else.įixer! That's right! Fixer is in LA again, and he was there, along with Cate Park of Giant Robot, and a whole contingent of others. Jodi Summers, of Santa Monica Landmarks, was also there. We had about 35 people, up a little bit from the first one, and it was a very senior group. She brought a large contingent of the guests along with her, and it was a super group of people. She's working with Greenbridge, as well, in their media holdings division.
